| IN RE: | SB306 by Huffman (Relating to consideration of a student receiving treatment in a residential facility for public school accountability purposes.), As Engrossed |
The bill would amend Section 39.055, Education Code, to exclude students being served in a residential facility for accountability purposes for a campus, district, or open-enrollment charter school. These students would not be counted as dropouts if they left the residential facility after receiving treatment for fewer than 85 days and failed to enroll after treatment unless the campus or district that was serving the facility was the one to which the student was regularly assigned.
Based on the analysis of the Texas Education Agency, the duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
The bill would apply beginning with the 2013–2014 school year.
